Beneath Your Shadow

BENEATH YOUR SHADOW ©

Silence is all around me, I can barely breathe, I can’t see anything, I can’t even conceive. The thoughts are painful; there full of lies, all I would like to know, is this real. I can smell the pain, so close to me, a lost reaction, inside of me. The last time I wish, I wish I knew, I’m here for a while, so ill stick with you.

Following close behind you, I don’t want to leave your side, I just wish I could go on, I just want to cry. You were always there to lift me, up and help me though; I don’t know what I would do, if I was without you.

The cold is creeping in, the pain is seeping out, there’s just one thing, and I don’t have a doubt about. It does that ill live it out, everything the same, just living life, everyday in pain. Now I know the time is right, to stand and fight, this pain will not, run my life. I’m here for a while, so ill stick with you.

Following close behind you, I don’t want to leave your side, I just wish I could go on, I just want to cry. You were always there to lift me, up and help me though; I don’t know what I would do, if I was without you.

I was never strong, or ever strong enough, to overcome this pain, I have only myself to blame. All I need is relief, some way to end it all, I sit here in grief, and I just don’t want to fall. This is a thing I, often will repeat, and only now that I can’t hide of deceive. I’m here for a while, so ill stick with you.

Following close behind you, I don’t want to leave your side, I just wish I could go on, I just want to cry. You were always there to lift me, up and help me though; I don’t know what I would do, if I was without you.
